I don't think they sought a 'sequential postcode'. They sought a 'structured postcode' with a logical system that breaks down into logical local areas. This is what every other country has. There is no technical reason why this isn't possible.
The reason Capita might not consider it feasible or necessary by Capita is that a properly structured code would naturally be open and harder to sell licences for. The commercial consideration is certainly very important, but this is a very bad way to finance a postcode. Worth noting the claim that the unwieldiness of this system could put lives at risk. http://www.irishexaminer.com/ireland/postcodes-will-cost-liv...
